 She is five feet two inches high, good looking, has blue eyes, light complex ion, and is about twenty-two years old. Her statement was similar to what was printed yesterday in reference to her connection with \ the case, which was in substance as follows: I She said that Friday afternoon last Cham. berlain told her about an old woman in New Haven that had thirty or forty thousand ! dollars, and that he was going to beat the place. 'I advised him not to go there, but | to go to work, '" she said, "when he replied, \ T am not going to work all summer, but you may bet your life I'll have that boodle.' ] | did not see him again until Tuesday, when he had @ large roll of bills out of which he gave me five dollars and asked me to get him something to drink. I had seen the ccount of the murder in New Haven, and I said to him: T see you have been up to New Ha- ven. Did you do thatp holding up the pa
 per containing the story of the murder be- | fore his face 'Yes,' he replied, tand I'm
 ready to defend myself pulling a revolver out of his pocket"
 The grand jury reported true bill. They were out about forty minutes.
 Young Henry Burton Chamberlain is well | known in town and has @ number of ae- \ quaintances down town. For the past ten ! years he had been known ss hard charac- ! ter, and on March 23, 1878, when he was but I thirteen years old, he was arrested for an as- \ sault with knife upon another boy, Charles Braden. Chamberlain got fifteen days in jail. July 16, 1883, he was arrested for
 breach of the peace, and in May, 1883, he been employed at the Mallory lock shop, Winchester's, J. B. Sargent's and the rubber shop. His foster parents live at No. 10 Franklin street. When he was a babe his ! mother died and MT. and Mrs. Chamberlain | adopted him and have ever been Eindful of his welfare. Young Chamberlain went to New York about two years ago and got job l with Rufus s. Snow & Co.,, commission mer- chants. He worked there until few weeks ! before Thanksgiving, when he came back to his home.
 He helped his parents, who live at No. 10 Franklin street, this spring and spaded the garden, cut up a lot of kindling wood and made himself generally useful about the house.
 Monday before last he told his parents that | he couldn't find job in New Haven and that he was going to New York to look for work. Besides he said, he wanted to get away from | the influence of his old associates here. | When Chamberlain left his father gave him ! S10 and told him if he couldn't find work 1T \ \ IL 1~1 !, ,sh | After Chamberlain arrived in New York his
 parents received letter saying that he wal ! trying hard to find work and expressing re | gret that he was not able to help his parents with their spring planting. The young ! mans foster mother is almost overcome anC
 broken down by the sad revelations. Sht
 said yesterday: 'He came home las
 Thanksgiving, after suffering from typhoid ! fever. Then he told me about some young girl who had cared for him during his illness
 I think he said her first name was Carrie
 although he may have said Cora. Wher
 he returned to New York he took with him
 8 glass berry set that had in the house | He said he wanted to present it to the girl as Ia token of his appreciation for her kind
 ness during his illness. When I gave it te him I said she might have the set if she ! were & good girl. He took it along
 and seemed so tickled when \ gave it to him. He came back to New Ha | | girl was very much pleased with the gift | He left home week ago Monday for New York, expecting to go to work When he went his father gave him $10 and gave hin | $5. When his father was saying good by' \ to him he told him always to be honest, up
 right and just, and that he would always | find our door open to him if he ever got into
 trouble. My last words to hin | (here Mrs. Chamberlain broke com pletely down, cried and wal | unable to compose her feelings for severa
 ninutes) when he was leaving this hous'
 were: Henry, always be good boy and al
 ways do right. Be honest, just and never
 do anything wrong, and if you are sick yot
 come right here to your own home and vel
 take care of you.' Henry had good hom
 and was treated just the same as if he wa
 my own flesh and blood. If he wanted fo
 anything we were only too willing to procur it for him."
 The 5:O7 train to Hartford yesterday car ried Chief of Police Bollman to the capito
 city Upon his arrival there he was at onc'
 driven to Governor Lounsbury's residence
 where the requisition papers to Governo Hill of New York were awaiting him. H took the next train for Springfield and iron

 prevented from talking to one another by al
 officer who was on guard in the corridor
 Yesterday they were brought to the Tombs where they were remanded to the custody O
 the inspector.
 Last nights New York Evening Post says l ssThe inspector is convinced that there is some l thing yet to be told. He believes that more none, l was found on Mrs. Ernst than has been accountei for and that Chamberlain played false with Taylo
 aud appropriated it all to himself. Only about $s | searched. At all events the inspector feels COZ l yinced that enough evidence is at hand to convic l both the prisoners of murder in the first degree As to the woman Cora Bell who is also under aI rest she is held merely for the evidence she cal oive against the suspected murderers Inspecto | Bvrnes said to day that he knew little about her | Bell may not be her name. She is not of conse
